Comments

Written by Irish scribes, probably at Bobbio. Used liturgically over a long period: two rubrics were inserted in fourteenth-fifteenth-century Gothic minuscule (foll. 82-83), and the same hand touched up, with red, capitals in the lesson from John read in Holy Week. The fifteenth-century Bobbio ex-libris with the No. 6 stands on fol. 1 and (without the number) on fol. 2. It was No. 6 in the inventory of 1461. The MS. is remarkable for its text.

Script is an Irish majuscule by more than one hand. Marginal entries in various Irish hands (fol. 15, etc.).
